And I honestly think I am going to give the micro-level recap a try, stay focused on my team, org and all that.

Good luck, my friend. You should check out Perfect Team while you are at it. It is like the MMORPG of baseball sims with a little less role-playing and a little more min-maxing.

Thanks to both of you for the kind words. I had so much fun doing this and I still like to go back and read a few pages for the memories now and then.

Not sure how I missed this the first time around. But i would tell you that this strategy might be the smartest thing you did as GM of Louisville. Nice guy, but a dolt.

Mostly, I learned from playing and making mistakes.

I live in Houston, so I always think "what would Ed Wade" do, and then I try to do the opposite.

Why? Because this is the thread that launched a thousand franchises. I am going to start another one and just had to look back on this one. I am so torn. I want to mimic this because I realized what drew me in, but also cover my league. My older threads have focused on the entire league in many ways, but in re-reading this I realize that you made it so we all got to know "the guys".....

Certainly launched the Portland Raccoons from this thread. Mr. Orcin is to blame for all the pain and agony I've had through the last 13 years!

Thanks
